SEEQS Nu‘uanu - Our New Home

We are excited to announce that SEEQS has finalized a short term lease for 1728 Nuʻuanu Ave (Google Maps), the former site of Cathedral Catholic Academy. This location offers safety, new possibility, and a strong local community.

​While we are still developing our plans for a safe return to in-person learning, these plans may include operating from two campuses for the remainder of this school year.

​All operations will move to the new campus for the 2021-2022 school year.
​
We love this location because...
  • It has 10 large classrooms on two levels and a big multi-purpose area so there is ample space to maintain physical distancing​
  • It also includes a number of outdoor spaces suitable for lunch, physical activity, and school gardens or other student projects
  • It is adjacent to the Nuʻuanu Stream and Liliʻuokalani Botanical Garden, providing direct access to these important natural features
  • It is embedded in a local community with a strong history and many nearby organizations that make for great potential learning partners

We are grateful to the Hawaii State Department of Education and Kaimuki High School for providing our home these past three and a half years.

As you may know, SEEQS has been actively seeking a new home for the upcoming school year. Due to COVID-19, we accelerated our search in hopes of identifying a school site with enough space to support a safe return to in-person learning even before then. Additionally, we also began to consider shorter-term solutions.
We believe strongly that this strategic move will best position SEEQS to live out its commitment to students now and in the future. We are proud to be a school community capable of adapting and continuing to grow in the face of challenges. Mahalo to the many individuals and organizations who have made this possible.
